-
General : In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and seek medical advice.
Eye Contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact : Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water or use recognized skin cleanser. Do not use solvents or thinners.
Ingestion : If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this document. Keep
person warm and at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth
and throat.
Notes to physician : If gasses have been inhaled, from the decomposition of the product, symptoms
may be delayed.
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be
taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to
decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Do not release
runoff from fire to drains or watercourses. Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Flash point : Closed cup: 37°C (98.6°F)
Explosion Limits : Lower: 1%
Upper: <=13%
Fire-fighting media and : Recommended: alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray.
instructions Not to be used: waterjet.
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident
if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fire water contaminated
with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any
waterway, sewer or drain.
Flammable liquid. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Runoff to sewer
may create fire or explosion hazard.
Special protective equipment : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
Fire Degradation Products : Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon oxides
nitrogen oxides halogenated compounds metal oxide/oxides
-
Exclude sources of ignition and be aware of explosion hazard. Ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Refer
to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous
earth, and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Do not allow to enter drains
or watercourses. Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers, or
sewers, inform the appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulation.

Handling
Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the
creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapors in air and avoid vapor concentrations higher than the
occupational exposure limits. In addition, the product should be used only in areas from which all naked lights and
other sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard.
To dissipate static electricity during transfer, ground drum and connect to receiving container with bonding strap. No
sparking tools should be used. Contains epoxy constituents. Avoid all possible skin contact with epoxy and amine
containing products, they may cause allergic reactions.
Avoid inhalation of vapour, dust and spray mist. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Eating, drinking and smoking should
be prohibited in area where this material is handled, stored and processed. Appropriate personal protective
equipment: see Section 8. Always keep in containers made from the same material as the original one.
Storage
Store in accordance with local regulations for flammable liquids. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible materials and ignition sources. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep away from: Oxidizing agents,
strong alkalis, strong acids. No smoking. Prevent unauthorized access. Containers that are opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Engineering measures : Arrange sufficient ventilation by local exhaust ventilation and good general
ventilation to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors or dust lowest possible
and below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling the product and before
eating, smoking, using lavatory, and at the end of day.
TLV : Occupational Exposure Limit(s), if available, are listed in section 3
Personal protective equipment
General : Gloves must be worn for all work that may result in soiling.
Apron/coveralls/protective clothing must be worn when soiling is so great that
regular work clothes do not adequately protect skin against contact with the
product. Safety eyewear should be used when there is a likelihood of exposure.
Respiratory system : If working areas have insufficient ventilation, wear half or totally covering mask
equipped with gas filter of type Organic Vapor, when grinding use particle filter of
type P95, P99 or P100. When spraying use a combined filter (organic vapor /
HEPA or organic vapor / P100 type). Be sure to use approved/certified respirator
or equivalent. Always wear an air-fed respirator when spraying in a continuous and
prolonged work situation (e.g. hood with supply of fresh or compressed air or a full
face, powered air purifying filter).
Skin and body : Wear suitable protective clothing. Always wear protective clothing when spraying.
Hands : Wear suitable gloves. For prolonged or repeated handling, use gloves. Barrier
creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin, but should not be
applied once exposure has occurred. Barrier creams may not be used under or
instead of gloves.
Since the actual work situation is unknown. Supplier of gloves should be
contacted in order to find the appropriate type.
Eyes : Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids. Safety glasses
with side shields.
Protective clothing (pictograms) :
Stability : Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7).
Hazardous decomp. products : Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon oxides
nitrogen oxides halogenated compounds metal oxide/oxides
Products of degradation : Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products
should not be produced.
Reactivity : Highly reactive or incompatible with the following materials: oxidizing materials and
metals.
Reactive or incompatible with the following materials: reducing materials.
The product must not be drained into water courses or drainage system.
